<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=3>The Swansea Festival of Music and the Arts has
commissioned a Canine Choir to perform at their next event. The choir has eight
members including Edward the Basset who, appropriately I suppose, has been given
the Bass part to 'sing.' He is one of the stars of the show along with Eva an
Alsatian. Edward is said by the conductor to be particularly melodious, this
should surprise no-one. Apparently a CD has been made and will presumably be
available eventually.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

Jack, a retriever who it is claimed saved 27 people from drowning in Swansea
Bay.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
